Chinese authorities have arrested a Genshin Impact player who ran a lucrative paid account boosting service powered by third-party cheat software.
The suspect promoted his exploits through gameplay clips on Bilibili and took orders across Chinese digital marketplaces to complete punishing endgame trials for paying customers.
Local police tracked the vendor down and detained him during an in-person meeting with clients, terminating the illicit boosting operation on the spot.
Following his arrest, the individual issued a formal public apology to developer HoYoverse before permanently wiping his social media accounts and deleting the cheat tools.
